Shoe size is the length of the foot in centimeters or other units, measured from the heel to the tip of the longest toe. It would seem that everything is simple. He measured his foot and put on appropriate shoes, sneakers or sandals, but it wasn’t there. All because in different countries of the world there are their own dimensional tables, which they adhere to there. This must be taken into account, because now in stores a fairly wide range of products is presented, delivered there from all over the world. Today, we will answer the question of what shoe size is 27. Consider a children's size table with such an indicator and an adult and we will understand four basic systems for determining them.
Children's indicators
To begin with, you should pay attention to children's shoe size 27: what is, say, European or American, how many centimeters insole and what parameters does it correspond to in different countries of the world? The table will show the most basic systems and the Chinese size grid that is gaining popularity among Russians lately.
| Table 27 sizes of children's shoes (matching) |
| Russia RUS | Europe EU | America US | China CN |
| 17 cm (insole) - 27 size | 27 | 10 | 17 |
Adhering to this table, you can easily choose 27 size shoes for your child. What age are these shoes most suitable for? The answer will be: for a 4.5-5-year-old child (these are average statistics).
Dimensional indicators for adults
There is one very interesting fact: by measuring your hand from the wrist to the elbow (you should measure from the inside of the hand), the person will determine the size of his leg, that is, these two lengths: the hand from the wrist to the elbow and the foot from the heel to the tips of the fingers are equal . In Soviet times, in our country, shoe size was determined by centimeters of foot length, and now this designation is extremely rare: on socks or children's sandals made according to Soviet standards. In order to understand what size 27 shoe is for adults, we give a table where its value will correspond to 27 centimeters insole.
| Table adult shoes (27 cm insole) |
| Russia RUS | Europe EU | America US | China CN |
| 42 | 41 | 9 | 27 |
In both tables it can be seen that only China has remained faithful to the old dimensional indicators, where the length of the foot is fully consistent with the size of the shoes.
Interesting life observation
Perhaps in the near future no one will be interested in the question of what size shoe is 27. And that's why. In the process of evolution, people gradually change. These changes are associated with the growth and size of the shoes of humanity as a whole. For example, the average height of men at the beginning of the 19th century in Russia was only 165 cm, and women were even smaller, about 150 cm. Accordingly, the average size of the shoes of the population was not the same as now. For men at the beginning of the 20th century, it was 41 sizes, and for women - 37. Now everything has changed: people have become taller and their feet have grown considerably. So, at present, the normal size for the girl is 39, although many already wear 41, and for men - the 44th shoe size. It is terrible to imagine how such an indicator will change in a few decades.
We hope that the article helped to figure out and understand what shoe size it is - 27.
